Summary

Devised and performed by Sam Gibbs and Peter Buffery, the show follows a ‘Scop’, an ancient storyteller, who has been telling his tale for many years, for kings and queens, lords and ladies and today brings it to whoever will listen.

But along with his tale he is joined by a musician, who has grown tired of the Scop’s ego and through the story of Beowulf they bicker and gripe at each other through arguments which span numerous character interacting with each other, a musical score which seemingly controls every aspect of the performer and numerous ridiculous physical sequences breaking down every preconception and tired old idea everyone has of the saga of Beowulf, this is Stand-up-Saga.
